In general, my research activities concern pathologies affecting the brain and the liver, and are basic and clinical in nature. Specifically, my laboratory is interested in:

• Implication of nutritional factors related to liver disease's complications including hepatic encephalopathy and the prevention of malnutrition in chronic liver disease.
• Analysis of factors and mechanisms related to the triggering of lactic acidosis crisis in children afflicted with French Canadian Leigh Syndrome.
• Study of the impact of gene mutation (LRPPRC) on mitochondrial function and susceptibility to inflammatory stress, in vitro and in vivo.
• Study of the relation between oxidative stress, inflammation and brain function as well as antioxidant interventions in order to reduce reactive species toxicity and inflammatory modulators
